Woven Apple Strudels

Preheat your oven to 400 F°

Preparation

• Combine an egg and water in a bowl and set aside.
• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Peel and cut the apples into 1/8-inch slices, make sure they aren't too thin or they will easily overcook.
• Cut and scrape the vanilla beans and combine with the cream, set aside in the fridge.

Strudel

• In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and apple slices. 
• Make sure they are all evenly coated.
• Place the puff pastry sheet on your baking sheet. 
• Place a line of apples in the center lengthwise. 
• Cut the pastry from the apples to the outside of the sheet in ¾ inch wide strips. 
• Make a braid by folding each strip, alternating between each side in an X pattern until you get to the end. 
• Brush with the egg wash (egg and water) and sprinkle with sugar.
• Place in the oven for roughly 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Garnish

• In a bowl, with the help of a whisk, whip the cream and vanilla until you have a whipped texture. 
• Set aside in the fridge.

Plating

• Cut the strudel into the desired size and place in your Starfrit Lock&Lock Easy Match 1.2 L / 42 oz Rectangular container. 
• You can garnish with the vanilla whipped cream immediately or place it in another smaller container (Lock&Lock Easy Match 250 ml / 8 oz Round Container) to garnish at the last minute and ensure maximum crisp.
